Integrity, I understand what you are saying, but, we have drivers that run, and I do mean run. The supervisors know this. They know he does not do the job right always cutting corners, but they love him. At 5 pm when there is a driver sinking they call him. He DRIVER RELEASE IN AREAS that's not driver release. door open. BUT THAT'S OKAY, He's company pet.

Invite them to join you up the street for a beer in that old abandoned parking lot.
There aren't many, but there are guys like me, that would be willing to go along and "talk" some sense into these Me-sters.

In my building we don't have a problem with drivers working off the clock. After several grievances on the matter management started issuing warning letters to the violators. Whenever it starts up again we raise a big stink and my manager starts cracking heads it's a beautiful thing. What scares me is somebody getting fired over it and then sitting in the hearing and having to defend the me-ster.

ask any UPS manager, they will tell you that working off the clock is wrong and is not be permitted

" I love you.... I promise I will still respect you in the morning.... no honey, that dress doesnt make your butt look fat....the check is in the mail." Yeah, you betcha.

Seriously. The skipped lunch is the fundamental cornerstone of UPS's entire dispatch plan. Managements MIP bonuses are a direct reflection of how many drivers they are able to screw out of a lunch and a break. The time allowances are geared to maximize the amount of off-the-clock work that can be coerced from the work group. It is a blatant and obvious scam.

littleboybrown,

Drivers like this should be reported to the shop steward.

Every shop steward should be completely versed and experienced in correcting workers who are disgracing union brothers and sisters by cheating in this manner.

There is no room in a union for members who are going to cheat and bring reproach on the union and it's members in this way.

anonymous,

I don't mean to be repetitive, but a package car driver working in a management sympathetic, non-union like manner brings disgrace to the membership.
